THE SIGNAL SERVICE WEEKLY Export.
The following is the signal office wealth
er crop bulletin for the week ending last
Saturday:
During the week the weather has been
warmer than the weekly average IN all
the agricultural districts east of the Rocky
mountains, except in the Atlantic States
from Maine southwark to Virginia, and
in Southern Texas. This excess OF tenn
p~erature for the week has been greatest IN
the corn and wheat regions of the North
west, where the average dailyeXcess rang
ed above normal from4 to 50, the latter ex,
cess in eastern Dakota, conditions most
favorable in the present stage OF the crop.
In the cotton belt the excess OF temper
ature has averaged from one TO three ae-
grees daily, save in Texas, where the
Temperature has been about normal. The
tobacco regions have had weather, from
one to two degrees warmer than usual to
westward of the Allegheny mountains,
while TO eastward it has been from one to
four degrees colder.
The Temperature since January has been
substantially normal in the Atlantic States,
and from New York westward to Michl-
gan, while a slight deficiency, less than
a degree daily, has existed in grain dis
tricts. A seasonal excess OF temperature,
averaging from one to two degrees daily,
has prevailed over Ohio, the Lower Mis-
souri, and Lower Mississippi valleys. Dur
ing the past six weeks, which have been
important, especially for the grain-groW-
ing districts, the temperature has been
steadily in excess over the corn and wheat
regions, and has been nearly stationary in
the cotton belt, which conditions must have
been most beneficial to these crops.
During the week the rainfall has been
slightly deficient in the agricultural dis
trict, except from western Pennsylvania,
southwestWard to Kansas and Indian Ter
ritory, where a slight excess has fallen:
Showers have been numerous n well
distributed, save in a few instances Of local
Importance only. The large seasonal de-
fciency of precipitation over the cotton
belt has been mitigated by recent rains
which have been we'll distributed and of
timely occurrence.
Over all the agricultural districts the
weather of the week has apparently
been favorable for the important crops, a
marked deficiency of temperature occur
ring in localities of secondary importance
as regards staples. South of the thirty
ninth parallel, where presumably grain
harvesting is now general, the weather
has been favorable for that work, as no
general rains have fallen or high winds
occurred, while sunshine has been at OF
above the average. Local rains have fal-
len in the past eight hours, or are predict
ed, from Minnesota eastward to Michigan,
where they will be timely and beneficial
to growing crops.
